A chemical biology screen identifies a vulnerability of neuroendocrine cancer cells to SQLE inhibition

Cancer cells are metabolically adaptable and the identification of specific vulnerabilities is challenging. Here the authors identify a subset of neuroendocrine cell lines exquisitely sensitive to inhibition of SQLE, an enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, due to the toxic accumulation of...
